Triennial Reunions of the 92^nd Illinois Mounted Infantry

92^nd reunions were held once every three years. The various villages throughout Stephenson, Ogle, and Carroll counties took turns hosting these festive, nostalgic and deeply emotional events. All reunions were held the first week of September. The first six celebrations were one day in length, while each succeeding one lasted two days, with the exception of three later reunions, as noted.

Beginning with the twenty-first reunion, gatherings were held each year, with the exception of 1927, when, apparently, none were held.

Also note the 22^nd reunion was held in Iowa.
